What Every MBA Student in the World Needs to Know
Sandeep Krishnamurthy http://faculty.washington.edu/sandeep 1

Management ≠ analysis.
What you are learning in school is analysis. You are being taught tools and techniques.
Analysis is just one of the ingredients in the recipe.
You may have the best analysis in the room. However, if your analysis is not heard and taken seriously, it is of no value.
Too often, talented people with the best answers sit in the back of the room while hacks run the show. If you enjoy the view from the back, getting an MBA will not change anything.
A MBA degree only works if you are willing to transform yourself. Are you? 2

Einstein would have been a terrible manager.
There is a huge misconception among students that being smart is the way to be successful. Let me break this to you. It is not about being smart.
There are many smart people who are absolutely incompetent managers. Not to mention the fact that many smart people are first-rate jerks.
Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying you have to be dumb to succeed. What I am saying is that you do not have to be a
Mensan to make it to the top. All you need is average intelligence. But, you need other qualities.

Bill Clinton would have been an excellent manager.
The man had his faults. But, he could communicate like few others.
Bad managers are, frequently, terrible communicators. They have good ideas. They simply don’t know how to get them across.
You cannot lead, motivate or sell if you cannot communicate. If there is one thing you want to do when you are in school, learn to communicate.

Don’t Lose Touch With What is Right.
Do not use analysis to justify what you know to be wrong. Frequently, the wrong path comes dressed in pretty clothes. Don’t buy it.
Hang on to your moral compass for all its worth.
Remember what your mama taught you.

...20 things you do not know about Windows XP
[pic]
Now it's time to delve a bit deeper and uncover some of Windows XP's secrets.
1. It boasts how long it can stay up. Whereas previous versions of Windows were coy about how long they went between boots, XP is positively proud of its stamina. Go to the Command Prompt in the Accessories menu from the All Programs start button option, and then type 'systeminfo'. The computer will produce a lot of useful info, including the uptime. If you want to keep these, type 'systeminfo > info.txt'. This creates a file called info.txt you can look at later with Notepad. (Professional Edition only).
2. You can delete files immediately, without having them move to the Recycle Bin first. Go to the Start menu, select Run... and type ' gpedit.msc'; then select User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Explorer and find the Do not move deleted files to the Recycle Bin setting. Set it. Poking around in gpedit will reveal a great many interface and system options, but take care -- some may stop your computer behaving as you wish. (Professional Edition only).
3. You can lock your XP workstation with two clicks of the mouse. Create a new shortcut on your desktop using a right mouse click, and enter 'rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation' in the location field. Give the shortcut a name you like. That's it -- just double click on it and your computer will be locked. And if that's not easy enough, Windows key + L...

...particular entity which suits his purpose and makes the deal.
One of these particular management methods that are in use in the present IT sector is three c’s of selling. this method involves taking the customer to the world he is dreaming about and make him understand that this product is something he requires. often this method is criticised by the public and also rated as unethical. Even the best world class companies which say “customer is the king” often follow this selling mechanism.
3 c’s
1. convince: this part of deal involves the process of negotiation .the end user will be presented with all the products in the arsenal and are made to compare each other .the seller would be explained about each and every component used in the product and how it works .the seller will try convincing the buyer that the has the exact product which the buyer requires with some minor adjustments.
2. Confuse: it the customer is not satisfied by the product and if he demands for more comparing it with more high end products of other companies. then the seller introduces confusion into the buyers mind. the persuades that the high end product which the customer is demanding has more negatives than positives. this would make the customer rethink about what he wants. this provides the buyer with the window of opportunity which is required for making the deal.
3. Confess:this involves the part where the seller reveals the truth to the buyer.this is a phychological trick which where......

...is so powerful - it can turn frowns into smiles. It can help mend the most broken heart. It can even turn all of the ugliness in the world into the most beautiful portrait we could ever have the pleasure to behold.
Such a monumental task - of course... it could be. But only if we try to do it alone. Instead, if each of us, in our own small way contributed just a little - together, the task can become the reality we're reaching for.
As potent as what love can be, it can only work it's magic if we choose to allow it to. For that to come to pass we must let go of the other emotions that can get in love's way. How is that - you may wonder?
Consider the thought that...
Anger - It's normal, but holding on to it indefinitely isn't really necessary. Let it go... Forgiveness is so much better for the soul than holding on to a grudge. Not only will the person you're angry at be happier but so will you.
Harshness - Harsh words take just as much effort and energy as kind ones do. Why not consider your choice of words before you speak them and choose gentler ones to get your point across.
Impatience - Aren't we all guilty of this at one time or another? Keep reminding yourself of the old saying - "Patience is a virtue" - who wouldn't want to be a little more virtuous? (Webster describes "virtuous" as being of moral quality or excellence)
Envy - We all know the saying here - "The grass is not always greener on the other side". Take that to heart and......

...All about Personal Finance
“Money is hard to earn and easy to lose. Guard yours with care.” a quote from Brian Tracy which tells about money just passing by in our hands because of wrong management. Another quote is from Natasha Munson which tells about “Money, like emotions is something you must control to keep your life on the right track.” This means we must know ways to maintain or control our money so that our life will be financially stable. That’s why I will tell you all about Personal Finance to help you manage your money.
Personal Finance is about learning to manage income and wealth to satisfy desires in life or to create more income and more wealth. It is about creating productive assets and about protecting existing and expected value in those assets. Personal Finance is very significant to our lives and some of the reasons are; first, it gives us self confidence, because we handle our financial problems under our control and we make more peaceful and better decisions. Second, saving for emergencies, you will not fear of crisis or surprise events which require a lot of money because you are already prepared financially. Third, saving for retirement, this is helpful for future purposes.
Personal Finance includes about wealth, but what is wealth? Wealth is the abundance of valuable resources or material possessions of economic value like money, real estate and personal property. An individual, who is considered wealthy, is someone who has accumulated substantial......

...By far, my favorite application essay to write was Fuqua’s “25 Random Things About Me.” However, I was surprised to talk to other applicants and hear how difficult many found the essay to write. My advice for those of you struggling with this non-traditional essay is to just have fun! This is a great and unique opportunity to show your interests, personality, and what sets you apart as a person.
I’m pretty confident that after reading my first blog (The Top 10 Reasons Why I Chose Fuqua), you thought to yourself, “Wow, this Trevor McKinnon sounds like an awesome guy. I wish I could get to know him better.” Well, it’s your lucky day! Below are some random things about me, and although this is not the same list I submitted as part of my application, it should give you the gist:
1. I was born in the US, raised in the UK, and have citizenship in both countries.
2. I played alto saxophone in a jazz nightclub in Prague.
3. My daughter’s name is Surrey. No, not because of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ daughter (Suri) and not because of the iPhone app (Siri), but because Surrey is where I grew up in England. And yes, people ask me those 2 questions all the time.
4. Surrey is spoiled: she had been to Disneyland more than 10 times before the age of 18 months, even though she’s never lived in California. My wife is from Orange County, so we would visit her family frequently while living in Utah, which always included multiple trips to Disneyland to get the most out of our......

“All Abound Eve”
All about Eve is a dramatic film in the fifties, that got many academy awards nominations, and
won six of the fourteen nominations. I have always enjoyed, the slow transition of changing a character during a film or TV series, I am fully aware it is no easy task, and the character with the most settle, yet enormous change during this film has definitely have to be Anne Baxter. The beginning of the movie was very dull for her character, there was nothing really outstanding about it, and made me question why this actress was nominated for an academy award. Her counterpart, Bette Davis would easily catch my attention because of her cockiness, and Anne Baxter's fascination with Bette Davis's character certainly made Bette Davis a lot more interesting. However during the course of this film, it was all about Eve.
So, the film starts with a ceremony, introducing pretty much all the characters, and making sure you notice how Eve receives the award, then the film proceeds with a flash back, explaining how all these characters got together in this same room. As for now Eve is introduced as a humble and respectful character, her fascination for Margo and her plays drive her to meeting Margo one day. When she does Eve tells Margo and her friends about her sad story, but since the character is so dull, up to this point, it didn't affect me one bit, She eventually becomes her secretary/maid which proceeds doing anything she can to please her......

It’s All About the Literature
As with any area in curriculum and instruction, teachers should not be fully dependent on one source, but rather use a variety of resources to help students understand content. The same can be said with the use of textbooks. Teachers should supplement core curriculum with quality trade books (GCU, 2012). Trade books can offer a wealth of information such as a means to expand vocabulary, clarify concepts, explore real-world situations, and entertain (GCU, 2012). Furthermore, Johnson & Small, (2008) stated, “In contrast to textbooks, nonfiction trade books can support instruction in nearly every subject…which allows a teacher to front-load experiences with a concept” (p. 132). The following table lists trade books that can be used to enhance and supplement instruction in Math, Science, Social Studies, and Reading within a fourth-grade classroom.
Book Title | Content Area | Summary | Appropriateness | Standards |
Millions, Billions & Trillions by David A. Adler & Edward Miller (2013) | Math | In this book, Adler helps students to connect large numbers to other things they already know. There are also hands-on activities that can be done, such as using one-fourth cup of sugar to illustrate what a million might look like. This book also tells students how long it would take to count to a million, billion, and trillion (Adler &......

...All About Cameroon
Background
Cameroon, a West African country whose coastline is part of the Gulf of Guinea and the Atlantic Ocean, is the world’s 53rd largest country in terms of physical size with an area of 183,569 square miles. Comparison wise, it is slightly larger than Sweden, comparable in size to Papua New Guinea, or slightly larger than the state of California. It is bordered by Nigeria to the west; Chad to the northeast; the Central African Republic to the east; and Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and the Republic of the Congo to the south (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Cameroon). The word “Cameroon” originated from the Portuguese explorers who reached the coast in the 15th century and named the area Rio dos Camaroes (or River of Prawns), which eventually evolved into the English name Cameroon (Pondi, 1997). The Cameroon flag has three equal vertical bands of green (for vegetation), red (for independence), and yellow (for sunshine), with a yellow 5-pointed star in the centered in the red band (http://www.10-facts-about.com/Cameroon/id/84). The Lonely Planet travel guide describes Cameroon as “Africa’s throbbing heart, a crazed, sultry mosaic of active volcanoes, white sand beaches, thick rainforest and magnificent parched landscapes broken up by the bizarre rock formations of the Sahel” (http://www.lonelyplanet.com/cameroon).
Cameroon enjoys relatively high political and social stability. Cameroon doesn’t have the notoriety of the history of ethnic violence between......

All about Home Insurance
Home is where the heart stays. In the world of inflation and recession, owning a dream house becomes next to impossible, but the financial institutions lend a helping hand in providing the required loan to acquire the property. With many difficulties after relentless survey, the loan approval process, credit score clearance, the much awaited home comes to hand. Now, this home contains the hard earned money, precious possessions and immense memories. It becomes important to save the home from various calamities by insuring appropriately.
An insurance cover for the home alone is not adequate; instead an accurate home insurance which covers all the possible liabilities is required. Very few Indians are aware of the home insurance policy that covers fire disasters and other hazards. Unfortunately, the majority of the home owners are ignorant of the benefits. Approximations of the National Disaster Management Authority, according to which about 60% of the Indian land mass, are prone to earthquakes, while 8% of the country is vulnerable to cyclones and especially Southeast Asia is more susceptible to disasters.
Advantages:
The benefits of home insurance are immense.
- Can be applied and obtained online.
Home insurance is easy to apply either online or at the nearest branch office. Applying online reduces the hassle of visiting the bank, thus reduces the time.
- Comes at an affordable premium package......

All About Race – Checkpoint: Tracee Sigler
According to the textbook there is not clear and scientific way to classify races because the genetic pool has been diluted from years past. IQ is the short name for the Intelligence Quotient. This is the ratio of a person’s mental age calculated by a test that is geared toward his or her age and multiplied by 100. From what the textbook states the issues of culture between Blacks and Whites in reference to IQ testing is biased and remains an unresolved concern. This test has been biased in stating that on average Whites has a higher IQ than Blacks. This is eliminated when looking and applying a curve within social and economical factors or rather characteristics. Race is a social construction that presumes benefits for the people who are oppressing minority groups or rather the privileged and those who are not privileged. It only supports the dominant race or races. Again, according to the textbook, racism is a doctrine that one race is more superior to the other.
I am and have been a constant victim of racism. I moved to Oregon several years ago and had to fight for my own personal freedoms. I was constantly stopped by police and everywhere I looked there were police officers following me and my family. I organized a chapter of the NAACP in the community where I lived. The locals were highly offended by this. They were of the dominate race, White. After organizing this group and getting laws passed......
